Q. My son developed a wart on the bottom of his foot. He didn’t take care of it as I told him to, so it grew and multiplied until it caused considerable pain when walking.By then nothing he tried helped. His doctor wouldn't touch it and recommended a visit to a specialist.
I told him to get some fresh turmeric but all he could find was the powder. I suggested he make a paste with a little oil. Mixing it with a few drops of olive oil and covering it with a bandage took away the warts and all pain in a couple of days! It has been several weeks since treatment and the warts have not returned.
A. You are the second person who has reported success with turmeric against plantar warts (warts on the sole of the foot). Turmeric contains curcumin, which has antiviral activity (Virology, online Jan. 14, 2008). That might explain your success.
